All values are actuals from tracked container records. Paths flagged low n have fewer than 20 records and should be read as directional.
The median transit time is 8.5 days. This is based on 59 containers tracked end-to-end on this exact direct path.
Most containers arrive within 7.8–8.8 days (P25–P75 of 113 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.
The shipping distance from Hai Phong to Hong Kong is approximately 514 nautical miles (953 km).
COSCO line operates direct service on this lane in our tracked dataset.
No transshipment paths are present in the tracked dataset for this lane — containers observed move directly from Hai Phong to Hong Kong.
Approximately 14.5 days door-to-door. The median gate-in dwell at Hai Phong is 4.0 days. Vessel sail time from Hai Phong to Hong Kong is 8.5 days. The median gate-out dwell at Hong Kong is 2.0 days.
Container shipping from Hai Phong to Hong Kong spans approximately 514 nautical miles, equivalent to 953 kilometres of sea route. Our tracked dataset for this lane includes 113 records across qualifying paths. Of those, 59 containers were tracked end-to-end on the direct path (literally booked from Hai Phong to Hong Kong with no transshipment). The median sail time on direct service is 8.5 days. Most shipments arrive within 7.8 to 8.8 days, the P25–P75 range covering the middle half of observed transits.
The typical door-to-door figure is 14.5 days. Median gate-in dwell at Hai Phong is 4.0 days, representing the time a container spends at the origin terminal between arrival at the gate and loading onto the vessel. Vessel sail time from Hai Phong to Hong Kong is 8.5 days. Median gate-out dwell at Hong Kong is 2.0 days, covering discharge and the time before pickup at the destination terminal.
Direct service — meaning no transshipment between origin and destination — is the dominant routing on this corridor. It is supported by 113 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 59 were containers literally booked direct from Hai Phong to Hong Kong and tracked end-to-end on this exact path. COSCO operates the dominant tracked direct service. Containers carried by Maersk also traversed this corridor without an intermediate transshipment, generally as sub-segments of longer journeys. On the direct segment, the median sail time is 8.5 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 7.8 to 8.8 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 7.8 to 8.8 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for direct service. About half of all observed direct shipments fell within that 1.0-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 4.0 days of gate-in dwell at Hai Phong and 2.0 days of gate-out dwell at Hong Kong on top of the chosen sail time.
